Smart Album to show pics with no faces, & any photos that iPhoto no faceID

Hi, I've just started to use iPhoto 09, after a long long time getting to know my iMac, and organising my iTunes library...
I want a smart album to show photos which have no faces, but also to have photos which iPhoto has not picked up that a photo needs a "face ID" on, what I mean is, if a person is turned away to to the side, iPhoto might not pick up that it needs to be a "face" and so wont show up in the normal smart album Photo>is>unnamed
if anyone can help, would be great, I'm busy slowly importing my photos, and what to do this one step at a time
cheers

A smart album with the criteria "Face is unnamed" will find any photo with an unnamed face on it. It can be either one with a named face or two but at least one unnamed face or a photo with no faces named.
There is workaround to get what you want.
1 - add a keyword, face, to any photo you name a face in.
2 - create a smart album with the criteria "Keyword is not face".
This will identify any photo with no face at all. If you've not added any other keywords to photos you can create the smart album above and then sort by keyword. Those with both a face and unnamed face will have the keyword face and can be sorted to the top or bottom of the list.

I have albums in my iMAC with description for each photo that I can show up on slide show so that I know the place that is in the photo. If I synchronize my photos to iPOD, I am unable to get the Descriptions also copied. How do I ensure this?

I have two questions:
1) I have multiple logins in my iMAC. How do I move photos/albums from one login to another?
2) I have created albums with "Description" for each photos, so that, in a slide show, any one can see what is being shown on the photo. When I sync albums to my iPOD, the "Descriptions" are not getting copied. How do I ensure that the "Descriptions" also get copied so that it can be a real back-up?
Thanks

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

Smart Album to identify pics without Place Assigned

Anyone know how to set up a smart album to show photos with no place assigned? I've tried setting up "is" "blank" or "is" "photo place"... nothing seems to work. I have another album set up to show Unassigned Faces and it makes it much easier to manage your photo album. Thanks for any ideas!

I see "Place" and you can do: is, is not, starts with, contains, does not contain, and ends with. I've tried is blank... contains blank... and a bunch of other things but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm sure it's something quite easy that I'm missing.

1 - file menu ==> new smart album

Smart album to show untagged photos

Since I won't be able to tag 3000+ photos except in one heck of a marathon sitting, I want to define a smart album that shows those pictures that do NOT have keywords assigned. That way, as the pictures get tags added, they should fall out each time the album is refreshed, correct? (and how would a manual refresh be invoked?)
What is the correct expression to feed into the definition?

Never mind, I got it! "Keyword is: None" and I see the refresh is automatic. Perfect. :-D
Now each time I do an import, I can see exactly which ones I need to tag. Sweet!

Imovie HD 6.0.3 not working with any photos that are 3MB or larger?!?

I am unable to see any pictures I have taken with my new high resolution camera that takes photos at 3MB and larger file size. They can not be seen in the preview pain nor in the timeline bar to be able to edit them. I can use and see all my old photos that are less than 3MB in size just fine. I have tried changing my playback settings with no help. The strangest thing is though I can some times see them and manipulate them but inevitably they go black again in the preview pain and the time line in iMovie. Can anyone help.

Thank you for your help but I have only deleted a few pictures and I have hundreds and none of them will render. They all still appear as black. And are you talking about re-importing all my new pictures into iphoto and then dragging them into imovie through the quick view media window? I went to one orignal photo and directly dragged and dropped it into a project that is having the trouble and it imports ok and then when the red bar in the time line makes it to the end of the picture frame section it goes black again. Also I created a brand new project and dragged and dropped 4 new original pictures into the time line and the same thing happened. The most confusing part is that it works fine with any older picture I have that is less than the 3MB size picture I have from our new 12 megapixel camera by Cannon which stores the files in .JPG format. Is it possibly a glitch or a corrupt program file within imovie itself? I have also restarted the program and the computer just in case and there is no change.

Firefox 3.6.9 / Windows 7 will not print using font specified with @font-face - any workarounds?

I've seen a few mentions of this problem around the interwebs, but can't find a resolution. I used [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator fontsquirrel's font-face generator] to prepare different versions of a font for cross-browser display. Screen presentation in almost all browsers is fine, and almost all browsers print the embedded font as well - except for Firefox/PC (3.6.9/Windows 7).
I have tried inline styles, styles inside of the head, and external stylesheets, all with and without media type print. What can I do?

Hi John,
Can u try the work around mentioned in the below link

When I'm using airdrop... Iphone 5 with iphone 5... Why the contact that show up doesn't have the photo that I assigned to their contact but showing grey image?

Please help!!!!!!!

Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

IMac OSX 21.5 late 2010, had MTN Lion on it. Prob with thousands of my photos in IPhoto all mixed up and intermingled with thousands of odd images I had not seen before. After trying to erase them, too numerous, I used original disk for disk utility. Disk

Utility had issues with erasing disk. It took 36 hours and then said it was a failure. I tried repairing and verifying and partitioning. Finally, I used the original disk to install the system. It installed Snow Leopard. I was unable to install the 2nd disk ILife items, so I repurchased those. I thought I was all set but it would not upgrade past 10.6 or something. After it is all set up, I realize there is nothing on the computer. The updates were in download folders and in reading the install logs, it said the install disc was read only and the system was installed from somewhere else and then it was reaped and something about a sandbox and it seemed important that all the Asian languages were added in, even though I unchecked that option. All these odd programs and windows are on there, which I do not use and do not want on there and do not see it on there. So, I tried this several more times, it appears someone is using the Root user. I tried to disable the root user as I do not understand how to set it. Last night, I took the main partition that I put everything on and made me the owner and took over that whole disk. Then the other two were locked, do I ejected them. Then I wanted to erase 4 things - an iDisk an some other trash and the trash is suddenly emptying 989 items, I think were the logs. So, I turned it off. What is going on? I was unable to fix the install disk. The permissions were not repairable on the partition, it was verified as being ok though. Has someone taken over my computer? How can I get rid of them and get it fixed? It has affected my iPad and my iPhone 5. I really need these devices. I am an artist and need to take and post photos of my work. Is this Chinese people doing this and are they nearby? I did notice they wanted me to sign up for mo ole me. in the logs it even said, no [email protected]. And no password access at that address. So, I was also not able to update to Mountain Lion and Icloud again. at one point it looked like I had. i downloaded everything I purchased that was in Icloud to Itunes and it showed the lion in Mail but there was no cloud icon and Mountain Lion said to install, meaning it was not installed. System information confirmed this. oh, and my main disk in disk Utility is named with an unchangeable name that is the serial number of the mac and it says it is an in/out sata media drive. Please, please help me.

1. If you break your post into paragraphs it is much easier to read.
2. I have no idea what your post is referring to, and how - if at all - it relates to iPhoto.
3. It's a good idea to re-read what you've posted, and ask yourself how it might look to someone who doesn't know you and doesn't know what's going on with your machine.

I move iphoto albums to backup, now, how do I delete photos from iphoto on my hd?

It looks to me like once I move an album to my ext hd that the photos are not removed from my iphoto on my internal hd? I want to free up space but only want to back up certain albums.

How are you moving them? Exporting does not remove material from iPhoto.
Why not have two Libraries, one on your internal drive, one on the external?
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Imac 24" late 2007 with image persistence -- any fixes that worked?

So there seem to be quite a few people with screen burn-in/image persistence on their imacs. I am one and I have tried Apple's solution as documented in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807?viewlocale=en_US
I've tried the white background for a few nights, no go. I also always had screen sleep set to 10 minutes.
The image persistence I get look like left over text/window borders and smudges much like these:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulbeattie/3672732489/in/set-72157620740779954/
I have also tried jscreenfix and LCDscruber on various patterns for a few days now and I can't get rid of these artifacts.
I suspect heat may be part of the issue. If I leave the imac off overnight and turn it on in the morning, my screen is fine. Wait a bit for it to warm up and the image persistence is back, however, turning up the fans failed to resolve the issue. Room temp is not bad -- about 26c. I've also tried cleaning out dust, but that didn't change anything.
Has anyone with this problem actually gotten it fixed? What worked?
Message was edited by: taii: Just to add, the location is just about dead center and spreads out roughly 4 inches in any direction. This puts it around the hard disk. The hard disk temp is 58c. The CPU and GPU temps are at 49/63c. The power supply is at 78c. This seems a bit high? The powersupply is in the upper left corner though and there is no image persistence in that area.

Hello
I don't have any exact figures as how much the temps went up as i didn't monitor it that closely before, as everyone who owns a iMac knows they can get quite hot.
Last night when i checked the temp on the GPU was 78 degrees celcius and i belive that thats a good 8-10 degrees more that it normally was with Leopard.
If i try and hold my hand behind the screen to the left where i believe the power unit is located it gets to hot for me to keep my hand there for more than a few seconds at a time.
I don't have the other numbers available right now but i can post them tonight when i get home.
I also had the problem before Snow Leopard but not as bad as with Snow Leopard. When i was using Leopard it normally took quite a long time for the problems to occur. I almost only got them if i wasn't using the computer and the screensaver or power saver for some reason failed to start, it was also quite easily fixed by just activating the screensaver or powersaver for a while.
My conclusion is as follows:
1. The iMacs has probably always had persistance problems.
2. The iMacs gets quite hot
3. After Snow Leopard the Imacs gets even hotter and this affects the percistance problems so that they grow worse
All this accordign to me is clearly related to the hardware itself, i.e poor cooling, poor quality components and so on, nothing points to this being a user or usage problem and i therefor think that apple should address it accordingly.
I'm in Sweden and my nearest Apple Store is quite far away and getting hold of someone at apple in sweden to discuss this matter with is easier said than done.
